| Because
they are members with the least amount of seniority, probationary firefighters
are charged with handling many of the station chores. Washing the rigs is
usually one of the more frequent duties. Above Adam Swalls (left) and Josh
Woods clean Brush 1's windshield. |

Holmes (left) and Scott Eaton dry Brush 1 off with chamois
cloths. |

| During
their initial orientation, probationary firefighters are introduced to the
four vehicles in Maumelle Fire-Rescue's fleet and the equipment they carry.
Included in this is a demonstration of Truck 1's 75-foot aerial ladder and
their first climb to it's top rung. Above, Josh Woods approaches the final
section of the ladder. |

| All
five probationary firefighters successfully reached the tip of the ladder
and made it back down again, pausing in between for a photo. |
